Less Food Waste

This year I will also be focusing on reducing food waste. Here are the big 3 areas I am focusing on:

1. No quick convenience food. This one is really just built into my year. I can't just run out and get take out or to the grocery store. That means groceries won't sit in my refrigerator and rot

2. Repurposing food! I had mashed potatoes that were going to go bad so I made potato fritters in my air fryer. New snack and no food waste. Plus only 1 WW point per piece.


3. Freeze, dehydrate, or gift food that I won't get to in time.

Bonus- Don't buy more then what is needed.
This one is hard for me. However my freezer is full and my shelves are stocked.

This includes my milk share for the month, 2 liters of olive oil, 2 pounds of honey, and 1/3 of a pound of cheddar cheese. This is a little expensive and maybe not so affordable. Hard cheeses in general are super pricey and so ...
